Products

Definition and Functionality

A product is a Style, and is defined by its BOL (sequence of operations with their SAM) and Materials. Each Product has an ID and a Name so that users, supervisors and other integrated systems can relate to the product. The product ID can be alpha numeric and also supports the following special characters Hyphen-, Underscore_ and Pound #

Product Menu

Details Screen – BOL (Bill of Labor)

BOL (sequence of operations) and Materials. The product details screen is where all product components are kept from operations to materials. Operations can have unique characteristics that determine where the operation is reported, the locations where it can be performed, and any kind of prerequisites necessary to continue the sequence.

Engineering

The sequence of operation is maintained with its SAM value, piece rate, base rate and other additional SAM values to be part of the total SAM, that is, additional handling, handling of small packages, etc.

Entire product BOLs can be exported from the main Products menu by hitting the export button at the top right of the screen with one file being generated per product.

Report Work

There are fields reporting production at the WO (work order level), production, quality, and milestone.

WO – When production is reported at the WO level, the total order quantity will be credited to the user.
Production – Reports production per unit (bundle) for the operation performed.
Quality – The user can report quality defects of previously performed operations.
Milestone – Production reports by stage, i.e. pre-assembly, cutting, lining, etc.
Sub Route – It allows to report the production at the same time in different locations..

Special Characteristics

These attributes are limited to where they can perform the operation by location and whether the operations prerequisites needed to advance during production.

Additional SAM’s engineering options

There are additional engineering options to apply to the operation, i.e. aggregates to the SAM value, conditional SAMs, etc.

Aggregate SAM’s and Conditional SAM’s

They are controlled by tags and location, conditional SAMs replace the SAM value with a tag or location, and aggregate SAMs add additional SAMs to the standard by tag or location and a combination of both.

The engineering reason behind this feature is to increase product versatility without adding more products with the same characteristics. The product can pay different rates by changing locations or tags by size or types of fabrics as an example.

Additional SAM’s by operation

They are configured from the operation menu and activated wherever the operation is used on different products.

Operation Sequence options

Through global parameters, the tablet is enable to report work through different sequence options. These options also will consider the prerequisites and op seq. and zone.

Complete the current job only if location is assigned to the operation
Move to the next operation after completing current operation.
Find the first uncompleted operation.

Materials

It is where the BOM is attached to the product and which operation will show the requirements. SFC uses it more as a kiting option. This function allows the user to take the correct amount of materials or accessories to start production.

Product UPC Mapping

Core Functionality

This update introduces automated barcode handling for finished goods within the Shopfloor Control (SFC) application. Instead of relying on manual entry during shipping and packing operations, the system now dynamically maps and retrieves the correct Universal Product Code (UPC) barcode based on a product's specific variations (such as size, color, or style tags).

Key Capabilities

New UPC Management Interface: A dedicated UPCs tab has been added directly to the Manage – Products screen. This allows administrators to link multiple UPCs to a single Product ID, with each barcode mapped to a unique combination of distinguishing attributes.

Conditional "Match All" Logic: When looking up a UPC, the system evaluates the item’s tags against the rules defined in the management table. For example, if a unit has the tags "Blue" and "Large", the system strictly matches and applies the exact UPC associated with both conditions.

Strict Data Integrity: The backend enforces validation rules to prevent duplicate UPC and tag combinations for the same Product ID, neutralizing potential logical conflicts before they hit the database.

Automated Label Printing Integration: When generating packing labels, the reporting engine automatically pulls the correct UPC from this mapping table. This automation strictly triggers for Units (Bundles) where the packing operation (or final WIP operation) has already been successfully completed, completely eliminating typing errors in the Unit External ID field.

BOM Screen Alignment: As part of this data model restructuring, the existing Product > SKUs page layout has been renamed to Product > BOM to better align with the platform's materials and bill of materials tabs.
